This iPhone is addicting. And useful.
I used it at the dentist today for my follow up:
Healing nicely... unfortch, this isn't the angle you can see the good stuff.
Since I was so well-behaved at the dentist and ate all my dinner at the Whole Foods hot bar (thank you, Whole Paycheck, for soft lentils), I deserved a yogurt on the way home.
First stop: Menchie’s. A new shop near Roswell and Piedmont in Buckhead.
I sampled and promptly left. It tasted like a Splenda-sweetened version of Yogli Mogli. With an odd texture. Nothankyou.
A mile-ish down the road, I spotted another new shop to sample… and opportunity to use my iPhone camera.
Best. Yogurt. Ever.
I don’t know why there isn’t a line out the door at 3 on the Tree.
They don’t have a webpage or a Facebook, but if you are in Atlanta check it out. Just past the corner of Roswell Rd. and Midvale Dr. I think this is the old Wolf Camera. It’s not much to look at, but mmmmm…
Flavors tonight included:
- Chocolate – I think it was dark chocolate. Whatever it was, it was delish.
- Vanilla – This was labeled sugar-free, but I’m pretty sure they lied. It was so creamy and flavorful! I’d choose it over ice cream!
- Pomegranate – I didn’t try.
- Tart – This is the plain flavor. Also left un-tried. Why bother with plain?!
- Spiced Banana – Out-of-this-world fantastic. YUM. The only thing that would have made it better is a peanut butter topping.
- Blueberry Smoothie – Also quite good.
The first 4 were NON-FAT. I swear to you, I could not tell. It was 10x better than Pinkberry or Yogli Mogli.
The last 2 were low-fat and created by a well-known local chef Julia LeRoy (formerly of Bookhouse Pub fame).
Like every other yogurt shop, it was self-serve with an assortment of toppings. I will say that their toppings look better/more fresh than those at other shops. These actually look like big, chopped up pieces of Twix, Snickers, Reese’s, Heath, etc. They have the sprinkles, fresh fruit, and gummies as well. Syrups included the usual dark chocolate, caramel, strawberry… AND local honey.
My selection?
So good I almost forgot a pic!
Chocolate-Vanilla swirl, topped with Spiced Banana (did I mention how amazing this was?!) and a couple of (mashed) strawberries.
Verdict: Skip the other shops and brave the traffic in Buckhead.
Or, wait until late spring (the lady at the counter indicated a May target) for their second location to open on LaVista Rd. in the Fellini’s (same ownership).
I wouldn’t wait if I were you. Traffic on La Vista sucks too.

Are you buying in to the yogurt craze? What is your favorite so far?
You don’t like Menchie’s?! I just went there today.
And I live near that Felini’s. Yay.
Nooooo… maybe it was an off day, but it tasted artificial to me and the texture wasn’t right.
Hi Laura – thanks for visiting my blog 🙂 I’m out of the States, so I haven’t a clue about Menchie’s or 3 on the Tree but I do love frozen yogurt! Favourite flavours are green tea and honeydew melon. Oh YUM!!
